Former Institutional Investor's YouTube Channel Hits 100,000 Subscribers

In August 2026, Monicle, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, announced a significant milestone for their YouTube channel 'Izumidaizm'. The channel, hosted by former institutional investor Ryosuke Izumida, has surpassed 100,000 subscribers. Izumida provides deep insights into financial statements and the true value of companies, effectively interpreting macroeconomic news and its impact on the stock market. The channel's popularity stems from its clear explanations of corporate analysis and economic news, making it an excellent resource for those looking to learn the fundamentals of stock market investing and asset management.

The channel aims to bridge the gap between individual investors and institutional investors, by providing professional-level insights that are often not accessible to the average investor. Izumida focuses on educating his audience about evaluating financial performance and understanding the nuances of corporate value—skills essential for making informed investment decisions.

To celebrate the subscriber milestone, Monicle Research, a subsidiary of Monicle, has launched an online video course titled 'Introduction to Stock Investing by a Former Institutional Investor'. This course, which commenced in August 2026, aims to systematically introduce the fundamentals of stock investing, such as how to read financial statements and evaluate stock prices. It's offered through the 'Moneiro Academy' platform and is designed to provide useful knowledge without promoting specific stocks or trades.

Online Video Course Features

The online course, led by Ryosuke Izumida, not only focuses on theoretical knowledge but also offers practical insights based on his extensive experience as a portfolio manager and securities analyst at major financial firms. The curriculum covers five essential skills for investors, breaking down the thought processes that institutional investors utilize daily. The aim is to equip participants with foundational knowledge as well as practical skills necessary for individual financial independence.

Through engaging lecture videos and progressive assessments, students will learn to analyze real-world financial reports, understand valuation metrics such as Price-to-Earnings (P/E) and Price-to-Book (P/B) ratios, and effectively combine various forms of analysis to make sound investment decisions. The content is carefully structured to start with crucial concepts like reading financial statements and advance to hybrid analysis methods that integrate both fundamental and technical analyses.

Izumida expressed gratitude to the audience, emphasizing the importance of financial literacy, especially in today's complex market environment. He acknowledged that while financial education opportunities have increased, individuals must also develop the capability to discern accurate information amidst numerous choices. The material shared through 'Izumidaizm' allows him to leverage his professional background to help empower others in their investment journeys.
